"Interface Masters' partnership with Damballa will provide significant value to customers looking for a turn-key solution that can provide non-intrusive network access to 10G and 1G networks and comprehensive network security coverage," stated Aaron Nankin, Director of Business Development at Interface Masters Technologies. "The flexible TAP and 'PacketMaster' is a hybrid all in one system, providing the best cost performance in the market, that ensures simple and complex network topology monitoring for anomalies and threats at wire speed."

Damballa was founded in 2006 by pioneering data scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology who were conducting Ph.D.-level research around malicious network communications. They quickly realized that security controls designed to stop attackers at the perimeter would not measure up to advanced methods. Their work caught the interest of ISPs, mobile carriers and forward-thinking large enterprises. Concepts developed in the University lab were put operationalized in live networks and Damballa was born. Damballa delivers advanced threat protection for active threats that bypass traditional security layers, rapidly discovering infections with certainty and pinpointing compromises that represent the highest risk to a business.
